Chương 55: The Free Land of Rivers
After putting away the blueprint, Yokiji looked at the time and said apologetically, "I'm afraid I have to excuse myself for a while. There will be a ceremony held by Kawakawa Clan and since we're about to enter a partnership with Kawakawa Clan, I have to participate."
Hearing this name, Nagasawa remained calm on the surface. He said lightly, "Kawakawa Clan? Are they strong?"
If he remembered correctly, Kawakawa Clan was a rather powerful Shinobi Clan.
Minato's information did not mention anything about the relationship between Golden Organization and the Kawakawa Clan.
It was unknown whether the Golden Organization only had a connection with the Kawakawa Clan recently or if they had already secretly cooperated for a long time.
Nagasawa believed it was the latter.
A local ruling Clan that controlled the area would not suddenly cooperate with an organization. Even if the two sides did not have any in-depth cooperation, they had contacted each other before.
"Kawakawa Clan is a respected Clan in the Land of Rivers. Naturally, they are strong." Yokiji smiled.
"Gu ra ra ra ra!"
Nagasawa laughed and said, "Then I will come with you and see how strong this Kawakawa Clan is."
He wanted to see what kind of relationship the two sides had.
"No problem. Kawakawa Clan did not exclusively invite our organization after all, but we are not going to Kawakawa Clan's main manor, but to their residence in Ohira. Kawakawa Clan's foundation is in the south of Land of Rivers." Yokiji reminded.
She was afraid that Nagasawa wouldn't be able to see too many skilled Shinobi there, and he might then think that she was lying to him.
Yokiji made a habit of never offending her patron. Of course, providing his patron also didn't offend her.
"It's fine. I just happen to have some time to kill."
Yokiji thought for a moment and said, "Alright then."
She felt that it was good to bring Nagasawa along. It was basically like having an excellent bodyguard. The ceremony should be uneventful.
The Kawakawa Clan was cooperating with so many Shinobi Organization that Land of Rivers' Daimyo might be a little concerned.
If she was lucky, she would be able to find out more about Nagasawa.
She still remembered the powerful aura that she felt yesterday. She was curious about how strong Nagasawa was and how strong he was compared to the leader of Golden Organization.
If Nagasawa was strong enough, she would try to propose cooperation between Nagasawa and Golden Organization and open up some businesses in other places.
Casting away various thoughts in her heart, Yokiji led Nagasawa and a group of Golden Organization members towards the direction of the Kawakawa Clan.
After arriving at the residence of Kawakawa Clan, Nagasawa discovered that there were quite a few people.
Moreover, the Kawakawa Clan residence was also larger than he had imagined. Because their land was basically as big as a village.
Of course, not a village like Konohagakure, but other small villages.
Nagasawa estimated that they might be as big as Uchiha and Senju Clan during the Warring States period.
After all, Land of Rivers' territory was not as big as Land of Fire's.
Nagasawa thought about it and thought that the Land of Rivers seemed to still be in the Warring States period.
Although it had established a country, it did not have any Shinobi Village, and Daimyo could not control too many places at once. Most of the area was controlled by the local Clan.
No wonder Land of Rivers and Shinobi had so many Shinobi organizations. Nagasawa thought in his heart.
If Land of Rivers gathered his strength and established Ninja Village, they might have a decent force.
Although Land of Rivers was a country, they were completely separated, doing their own business. This situation was welcomed by the Shinobi organization.
Who would build a Shinobi Organization in the Five Great Shinobi Countries? Of course none.
Because everyone knew that it was simply courting death.
"I don't know what the Kawakawa Clan is going to do this time. They invite so many organizations over."
"Yes, look over there, it's the Golden Organization. Even they are here."
"Why wouldn't they? Even the people from the black market are here to join in the fun."
When Nagasawa heard these words, he felt that he might be involved in the political vortex of the Land of Rivers.
Kawakawa Clan might be up to something, and they brought Golden Organization to their ranks to strengthen their momentum.
Soon, all the people who came to watch the ceremony were led into a great hall.
Perhaps they were divided according to the organization's strength. Nagasawa followed Yokiji and sat in the front row.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the Kawakawa Family's leader change ceremony." A middle-aged man in a formal dress said as he went up to the stage.
"Please come up to the stage, director!"
A skinny old man who looked to be in his sixties walked up to the stage with a smile.
"Next, please come up to the stage, successor!"
A young man with a cold face walked up to the stage.
The old man opened an exquisite small box on the stage and took out the old Kunai which had a blue water droplet pattern inside. He handed it to the stern young man and said,
"Goro, the family still has to rely on a youngster like you in the end. Don't think too much about what happened in the past. Do your best. The Clan will always have your back."
The expression of the stern young man did not change at all. He only indifferently accepted Kunai, which was the symbol of a Clan Leader.
The old man seemed to be used to the young man's attitude as well, and he walked down with a smile.
"This is the new leader of our Kawakawa Clan, Goro Kawakawa. He climbed into the leadership position with his own ability and become Clan Leader at only twenty-three years of age. Let us cheer for him." The middle-aged man shouted.
"Goro Kawakawa!"
"Goro Kawakawa!"
The group below the stage shouted.
The middle-aged man pacified the crowd and then said, "I believe everyone is curious why Kawakawa Clan invites you to this ceremony."
So far, only Kawakawa Clan members were allowed to watch the ceremony. At most, they would invite a few individuals that weren't part of the Kawakawa Clan out of necessity to maintain the secrecy. This was the first time the ceremony was open to everyone and held in such a grand manner.
"Our new director will tell you all the reasons."
After saying that, the middle-aged man stepped down, leaving only Goro Kawakawa alone on the stage.
Goro Kawakawa said indifferently, "The purpose of our invitation this time is very simple. It is to deepen our cooperation and build a new Ohira, and make it the capital of Shinobi."
Nagasawa was surprised. This Goro Kawakawa actually planned to revolutionize Ohira. What was next? Land of Rivers? Was he going to fight with Daimyo openly?"
However, Nagasawa felt that it should not be so fast. Otherwise, the main family would announce it.
Perhaps he wanted to see the reaction from Land of Rivers' Daimyo?
"I wonder if Kawakawa Clan has reported this matter to Daimyo."
Someone said all of a sudden.
Everyone looked over and saw a plain-looking middle-aged man sitting at the back.
Goro Kawakawa calmly replied, "Since when did Kawakawa Clan have to report to Daimyo about everything we do?"
"You!" The middle-aged man did not expect Goro Kawakawa to be such a fearless man.
"Someone, go and check if he has an invitation. I suspect that he sneaked in to cause trouble."
"Daimyo is Daimyo. Kawakawa Clan must learn their place."
The middle-aged man immediately slipped away after saying those words.
